50 Best Soup near West Hollywood

“THE BEST PHO 🍜 ever. I travel the country and I’m a good snob. This is home cooking, unique…and absolutely delicious. Please treat yourself and go!“

“Hardly a wait before 1pm 5-10. The entrance of the place is where the parking lot is, not on the corner of 5th street were I entered from 😅 they are very quick at clearing tables to let in more guests for dine in.

Ordered the brisket and it was delicious. Light and flavorful. Like others have stated, add your green onions and salt pepper or chili to your liking. Their radish and kimchi banchan were fresh and flavorful, my favorite being the radish! The milky smooth bone broth tasted delicious. Not heavy at all and so comforting!“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“Really good food worth of your money😊“

“This place is soooo EPIC!! So epic the cast of Parasite movie ate here after winning the #Oscars! Nackchi bokum was the best I ever ate but everything was authentic and delicious!! 🦑👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️“

“Very kind and attentive server who seemed to be handling half the restaurant by himself.

Tofu soup was good, but nothing mind-blowing. They're generous with their bonchon (sides), but I didn't like how watery the kimchi was. Bulgogi was fine.

I'm interested in seeing what other Korean restaurants LA has to offer, but based off this experience, I've had better Korean food for cheaper in Vancouver and Dallas.“

“I never really liked lobster rolls before, but my husband convinced me to come here and try it. Honestly, it was the best decision! This lobster roll completely changed my opinion — it was absolutely delicious, fresh, and so flavorful. Now I finally understand why people love lobster rolls. Highly recommend this place!“

“Hands down one of my favorite Korean restaurants for years. The food just tastes amazing. Well known amongst Koreans for a reason. I always get the bulgogi and dongchimi noodles. The dongchimi noodles are a must when coming here, it’s what it’s best known for. Paired with their bulgogi, the experience just gets better. I’m not one who likes sweet, soy based marinated meats, but this place does it so well. Their marinade is not too strong or sweet, the meat is soft. Dip it into their nutty and savory sesame oil? Game over. The combination is just amazing. Please try these two together! Highly recommend. Yes, the bulgogi is a bit pricey, but it hits and the meat is so soft.“

“Amazing authentic Korean food! The kkakdugi was incredibly fresh and delicious, and all of the side dishes were excellent. The food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and the service was warm and friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're craving authentic Korean comfort food. I'll definitely be back!“

“อาหารอร่อย บริการดีมากๆครับ 😇🙏🏻“

“The stars aligned. We were overjoyed to find a BOB vegan restaurant, inspired by grandcestor Dr. Sebi's alkaline nutritional guide. Highly recommend Beyond Vegan - Culver City. The food was flavorful. My friend ordered the namesake quesadillas, and I ordered the jackfruit tacos with mango salsa. Double the flavor - we shared our meals. Yum! The portions were large, filling, and pleased my soul. What I thought to be a side of mashed sweet potatoes was warm, smooth mashed beans. Tacos and quesadillas on point. Purple wild rice was a delightful surprise. Diversity in texture, flavor, colors, and quality ingredients. No better way to catch up with a friend than eating outdoors at Beyond Vegan!“

“Couldn’t be more happy about my experience today. The staff were very kind and helpful and the food was beyond fulfilling. Nothing cheers me up more than ramen and Kai took it that much higher. Something about the tonkotsu in addition to the charsiu pork absolutely reigned based on my memory of LA selections. I don’t think I’ll ever get this close to thins location any time soon but I’m glad it left a valuable place in my ramen filled heart. ❤“

“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!“

“Amazing vegan ramen with great flavors. There's something for everyone here! The signature ramen with gyoza comes with a smokey flavor that was delightful. I particularly loved the yuzu sesame ramen. The curry ramen was perfect for my mom who likes Indian flavors, the garlic miso ramen is great for garlic lovers and the spicy miso is great for those who like spice! Will definitely come back!“

“Kappo Miyabi is a hidden gem. I work at a nearby hotel and I'm always happy to recommend this restaurant to our guests for an authentic Japanese meal. The menu has a great selection and the fish is super fresh. If you are looking for a lowkey, neighborhood feel and want to support a mom and pop that really cares, you should definitely check this place out.“

“Really good ramen! All of their sides are delicious, but the shishito peppers are a must-try. I also love that they have both vegan and non-vegan options, so there's something for everyone. The staff is super friendly and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“Staff friendly and awesome Thai foods“

“We really enjoyed every dish we ordered. The food was delicious and had an authentic, traditional Thai flavor. The restaurant was also very accommodating and happy to adjust the dishes to suit our preferences. The service was excellent, and the staff were warm and friendly. They gave us honest recommendations on what to order, which we really appreciated. The prices were also very reasonable. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience.“

“Chichen Itza is a local gem; a real, honest cocina Yucateco. I often find that even if yucatecan cuisine is on a menu of a restaurant, it may be half hearted, perhaps assuming the flavors and heat won't sell. Absolutely not the case her

Chichen Itza is a small, but confident showcase. There is consistent high quality to the food, which is artfully prepared and served. The dishes include delicacies such as: Cochinita Pibil, Poc Chuc, Relleno Negro, Agua de Chaya, and others. Humble, basic ingredients from the earth and sea, crafted into dishes possessing impeccable flavor and soul.

For those wary of high scoville numbers, the heat is restrained, but you can lay it on too and enjoy the wonderful flavor that can be harnessed from the Habanero.

As it is within a food court, and there is the intensely popular Holbox next door, the smell of ceviche and other uncooked seafood can be present. Finding seating can be challenging as well. Do not let this keep you from going.

Park on the street, and ignore the line out the door for Holbox. The food, and the people of Chichen Itza are worth every effort to come enjoy.“

“What you don't know is the menu can be a bit redundant. Besides the sandwiches, everything is a variation of itself. I fount the Boureg to be some of the best I've ever had. This is definitely a lunch spot, the bites are pretty small. I like this casual, large glass windowed eatery.“

“their foods are good.. i like it..“

“Food is great yet it takes awhile so order ahead.“

“Delicious Udon and other Japanese specialties“

“The best Japanese curry in LA, and we have tried a lot of places, believe me!!! Has options for vegetarians and vegans too! The miso soup comes with a lot of the meals and it's so good too. The staff know us now and they are all lovely! It's pretty small inside so probably not the best for a super big group but great for a more intimate night out and of course take out as well!“

“Delicious 👌 the greatest meal at Korea town LA“

“Yanina Nunez the manager is amazing, excellent service. She made me feel important by asking me how was the food? Is there anything we can do better? She also helped me carry my food since I walk with a cane and it’s hard to carry things! Thank you Yanina💕. I will be back. The food was delicious.“

“100% RECOMENDADO DELICIOSA TODA LA COMIDA ♥️“

“Great food, location and service“

“Really enjoyed our meal here! The prices are very reasonable and the portions are generous. The spicy seolleongtang had plenty of beef and a nice kick, and the braised short ribs were tender and flavorful. The kimchi dumplings were also really good. Everything came out hot and comforting. Definitely a great spot in Ktown for a casual Korean meal!“

“A must. So delicious. Can't wait to go back!! Thank goodness for friends that share food stories. �“

“The food is always on point, and the staff are consistently attentive and accommodating. They're always on top of cooking the meat, making the experience enjoyable. The side dishes are also fresh, delicious, and plentiful.
Great service and consistently great food every visit!“

“조미료가 전혀 들어가지 않은 깔끔하고 맛있고 풍성한 음식은 한 사람 한 사람의 건강을 우선하는 주인의 따뜻한 마음까지 합하여 최고의 레스토랑으로 추천합니다!!!“

“Came in for the first time a few years ago because I was interested in the "twice-fried noodles" (tsuivan)... was instantly hooked. Everything here is just produced with so much attention to detail and served with such charisma. Highly recommend, also try the salted milk tea 😁😁“

“A small, local hole in the wall for sure, tho it's just across irving middle school 🤩 I'm born and raised in Glendale, and I hate that I didn't notice this place sooner, as it's a bit hard to spot on the main street while driving.

My husband and I came for lunch. We ordered the Special pho and beef pho, which was about 18$ and 17$ with tax, and a thai tea. All were delicious, and portion size matched the price point 🫶🏽 I couldn't finish all of mine, but husband gobbled his down quick

The restaurant is quaint and the space small but not tight. There was plenty of seating indoors, and kept cool in the summer heat 👍🏼

Free parking is behind the building, fitting about 3-4 cars, as well as limited free street parking 👍🏼“

“It’s a family run restaurant and the atmosphere is very friendly! Food is amazing as well. The beef and tendon is very delicious even with No salt and MSG added ahead. We can eat it with soy sauce or give it directly to our children! And the beef tail bone soup is amazing! Absolutely 5 star recommended ❤“

“Swadikaa 🙏

if it has to be Thai, it has to be NAT

One of the best Thai food experiences in Los Angeles! If you're a Thai food lover, this place is an absolute must-visit. And if you haven't tried it yet, you're truly missing something in life.

The food is authentic, incredibly flavorful, and the portions are amazing — one dish is easily enough for two people. Every bite feels like comfort food made with love.

What makes this place even more special is the owner and chef, Nata. She serves every guest with so much warmth and care that you'll feel as if your own mother is cooking and serving you. She is sweet, approachable, open to suggestions, and always makes you feel right at home.

Great conversations, outstanding hospitality, and unforgettable food — this place has it all. It's not just a restaurant; it's an experience. Highly recommended, and definitely one of the hidden gems of Los Angeles!“

“A 4 in one location! Loved the variety of the different type of foods! The soups were delicious, the smash burger smelled good(didn’t taste it was for my young son) which he said was good, the arugula salad so tasty and the pink power salad was indescribable(that good) definitely coming back again. The young lady who took our order was so kind too!“

“Hole-in-the-wall place specializing in simple soups and soondae (Korean blood sausage). It’s run by an older Korean woman who doesn’t speak any English but is super sweet. It makes me sad that I hardly see anyone in there but I don’t know why since the food is good and affordable. It may confuse people that the sign says Golmok Restaurant. I’ve ordered the spicy soondae soup and the small soondae plate. I prefer the soondae plate because I think the soup makes the soondae a bit soggy and the plate is a bigger portion.“

“hands down my #1 korean food joint! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“All Korean menus are okay. I feel like I am in Seoul, South Korea..🥰🥰“

“Great atmosfier, amazing food, unforgettable time with friends!!!$“

“Great customer service and delicious and flavorful food“

“I recently came back to Gobawoo after many years, and I was honestly impressed that the food tasted exactly the way I remembered. It’s becoming harder and harder to find restaurants that can maintain the same quality over such a long period of time, but Gobawoo has done just that. This place has been around for many years, and after this visit, it’s easy to understand why it continues to have such a loyal customer base. We ordered the bossam, acorn jelly, noodles, and seafood pancake, and every single dish was outstanding. The bossam was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor without being greasy. The acorn jelly was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and had a wonderful texture. The noodles were simple yet comforting, with a rich, satisfying flavor that paired perfectly with the other dishes. The seafood pancake was one of the highlights of the meal—it was crispy and golden on the outside, soft inside, and packed with plenty of seafood in every bite. The portions were also very generous, so we left feeling completely satisfied. Even during lunch, the restaurant was packed with customers, and there was a constant flow of people coming in. That alone says a lot about how popular and well-respected this restaurant is. Despite being busy, the service was friendly and efficient, and the staff made sure everything came out quickly. The atmosphere felt warm, lively, and welcoming, making the meal even more enjoyable. The prices are very fair considering the excellent quality of the food and the generous portions. Expect to spend around $30 to $70 per person depending on what you order and whether you’re sharing dishes. If you’re visiting the area or looking for authentic Korean food, Gobawoo is absolutely worth your time. It’s one of those classic restaurants that has earned its reputation through consistency rather than trends. Every dish tasted homemade, authentic, and prepared with care. I truly appreciate restaurants that continue to serve the same great food year after year, and Gobawoo is a perfect example of that. I will definitely be coming back again, and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious, traditional Korean food. Be sure to order the bossam and the seafood pancake—they are absolute must-tries—but honestly, you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.“

“I love this place! I used to live nearby and i stumbled in right at opening time my first day. they have a wait if you're going at popular times. Small strip mall parking.

wow, i became a loyal fan of the cheonggukjang, which i never had before. The owner is kind, and it feels like we're being taken care of like I'm at their home.

i am not korean, and especially at that early time 10 years ago I was often the only non-korean... but when they saw me eating cheonggukjang not bbq, i got some nods of approval 🤣 One korean man came up to my table after i ate once and asked me how i know this soup because it's controversial with even koreans.

But i loveeee fermented foods. and honestly, anytime i was sick this soup made me better in a day. I miss living so close to it, i have to make special trips to go now.

I tell all lovers of korean food to go here!“

“My parents came out of town and wanted to try fresh raw crab and after browsing multiple websites we landed on this restaurant. The crab was perfect and exactly what they were craving. Food was really good and we really enjoyed it. We will definitely go back when they are back in town.“

“I’ve been meaning to try this spot but it’s always packed during the day. Came around midnight since it’s open 24hrs and I’m happy to finally ate here. Food so good I didn’t even bother with a before pic 😭😅 I’m coming here again for sure! Great and friendly service!“

“We ordered both the mul naengmyeon and bibim naengmyeon, and both were excellent. The portions were very generous, and the broth was especially refreshing and flavorful.

I didn’t realize it while I was eating, but I did feel a little puffy afterward, so it was probably a bit high in sodium. Still, that’s pretty common with naengmyeon, and it didn’t take away from the experience.

The food was satisfying, the restaurant was clean and comfortable, and the service was friendly. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re craving Korean cold noodles.“

“This is one of my favorite places on Sawtelle.
Everything I’ve ordered has been excellent, and the Galbi and Seafood Sundubu stand out.
I usually dine in, though I sometimes order food to go. The quality has been consistently outstanding.
The restaurant is comfortable, and the staff are very friendly.

With so many great restaurants lining Sawtelle Blvd, located in the area known as Little Osaka, it can be hard to decide where to eat. This place is always at the top of my list.“

“Glad Hurry Curry has reopened after closing their Sawtelle location. if you are new and don't know what to order, try the chicken cutlet curry and the Chicken pasta with Alfredo sauce. The curry is bold and savory. make sure to request picked vegetables for the curry. the chicken pasta is also rich and savory. both dishes complement each other without repeating the same experience. the portions are large so bring friends or bring home plenty of portions for leftovers.“

“Oh wow! They updated their menu and it got so busy today.
This place has always been a favorite of mine and my boyfriend whenever the seasonal flue or friends visit.
#3 is always been very nutritious, clean, and fulfilling.
Has lots of parking, makes you feel like your home, and the owners are very personable even when it’s busy. The servers may not talk much but they mean well and efficient,“
